Maiden's Tower

So the story is, in order to protect his daughter the Sultan requested this island to be build and kept his daughter there. She was fine in her tower until one day, a snake got into the fruit basket and bite the princess to her death when she took an apple from the basket. The moral of the story, you can never be sheltered from everything so enjoy life as long as you can!

We saw this on the 2hr 'red bus' boat tour. A very sad story (do look it up)!
